Subject: dmaengine: pl330: Fix NULL pointer dereference on probe failure
From: Krzysztof Kozlowski <k.kozlowski@xxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 0f5ebabdd03b471da1906f7edddc61ceb35cee02 upstream.
If dma_async_device_register() returns error and probe should clean up
and return error, a NULL pointer exception happens because of
dereference of not allocated channel thread:
Dmesg log (from early printk):

This happens because the necessary resources were not yet allocated - no
call to pl330_alloc_chan_resources().
Terminate the thread and free channel resource only if channel thread is not NULL.
